CLEANING
Before cleaning, turn off the unit at the
isolation switch to avoid the shower being
accidentally switched on.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SPRAYHEAD
CLEAN TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE OF
THE SHOWER. The hardness of the water will
determine the frequency of cleaning. For
example, if the shower is used every day in a
very hard water area, it may be necessary to
clean the sprayhead on a weekly basis.
Sprayplate removal
There is no need to remove the sprayhead from
the hose.
Using the removal tool supplied (fig.44), locate
the three raised ’bosses’ into the three recesses in
the sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anti-
clockwise (fig.45). This movement may turn the
cartridge assembly as well until it reaches a ‘stop’.
Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twist
anti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplate
sufficiently, it can be unscrewed and removed
completely.
Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush or
preferably leave it to soak overnight in a mild
proprietary descalent. Make sure all traces of
scale are removed and thoroughly rinse in clean
water afterwards.
Before replacing the sprayplate, switch the
power back on at the isolating switch and direct
the hose and sprayhead to waste.
Turn the flow control fully anti-clockwise.
Press the start/stop button. This operation will
flush out any loose scale deposits in the unit and
sprayhead. Stop after about thirty seconds.
Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise. Use
the tool to screw the sprayplate tight.

WARNING!
DO NOT use ‘powerful’ abrasive or
solvent cleaning fluids when cleaning
the shower as they may damage the
plastic fittings.
